Lots of excitement with the possible release of a street going 2 stroke if I recall.
Why would any KTM entity want Husky. They sure haven’t done much with Husaberg.

The last real Husky was made in Sweeden in middle 80’s. Every time I see a Husky now I think rebadged Cagiva. The ads for the new dual sport looked promising. Oh well, just that much further diluted from the original.

They bought rolls thinking they also got Bently but VW got that………….
